Element Magic
Chapter 2: Magic Equipment
Chapter 2: Magic Equipment
A week has passed since I received the letter of recommendation. And now is the right time to buy the equipment that Yuna told me. Such as textbooks, magic sticks, grimoires, magic robes, and broomsticks.
And also I need some magic tools to help me, but instead of buying it, I prefer to create it. And that's why I needed some certain materials to create it. A magic tool itself is a tool that has a mechanism that uses magic as its power.
That's why, I went straight to the trading district that was in the upper-class area. From a distance there are various lights that use magic stones. Even though I only caught a glimpse of it, I instantly knew how it worked.
Lighting magic tools, which are now called as lights. Using a ball-shaped container with a magic core at the bottom. The magic core was made up of magic stones, and some light element spells. I can tell you that the magic tools of this era are already very developed compared to my time.
Then the trading district was also divided into several parts, including the magic trading district. There are various things related to magic, including the things I'm looking for. And luckily my father found out about this place so he gave me a map to keep from getting lost.
Then, I arrived in front of the magic wand shop that looked old and full of spider webs. The store was a recommendation from my father, but I felt less sure of it. But because my father recommended it, I was forced to enter the store.
From the inside there was a smell of dampness that stung my nose. Even the sound of rats passing by and fro. A few broken magic wand were seen everywhere. Until when I got inside, suddenly a black shadow appeared before me.
By reflex I activated my magic shield and immediately dodged. But when I looked more clearly, the black shadow figure was the shop owner.
"I'm sorry, it's my habit to scare the kids that come in" the shopkeeper said.
"Scaring?"I asked while tilting my head.
"ah! Actually many children who enter here with the intention of testing the guts. As you know this store looks seedy and dirty like an uninhabited building. Therefore the children came for the guts test. Then, what do you want to do here? From what I've seen you seem to want to buy a magic wand" he explained.
"Yes, I want to buy a magic wand here on my father's advice" I replied.
"Your father? maybe his name is Albert Astra?" Ask the shop owner who surprised me.
"True, I want to know what your relationship is with my father" I replied.
"Your father and I were team mates on an adventure. I am a witch while your father is a powerful swordsman.. Even I can't beat him. He was betrayed by our team-mates. That is why until now I never dared to meet him. But it's an old story, don't you think about it" he explained.
"Well, you want to buy a magic wand, don't you? I have one of the best magic wands ever. This wand is made of pheonix feathers, unicorn horns, as well as dragon breath. And also this magic wand was forged by a great blacksmith witch of his time. I've been distorting him for a long time because this stick chose its own owner. I'll give you 10 silver." Reciprocity.
A magic wand that chooses its own owner, I'm sure it's a magic wand that has an ego. If it is like that, then it is a very good stick, especially for me. Although I don't really need it but the magic wand serves as a tool to control magic so as not to get out of control, I can try it if using S rank magic.
"Does it matter if I buy that precious stick?" My toot.
"No problem, I sold it to you because it didn't work. Nowadays people prefer beautiful magic wand over useful magic wand. And again, since you're the son of that man, you're definitely very talented in the field of magic." He picked up a dusty box on a shelf near the cashier.
"That guy? What do you mean my mother?" Ask again.
"That's right, someone as strong as him should not be treated that way. After being fired as a royal witch, she was really lucky to meet your father." He said as he rubbed the magic wand.
My mother was the strongest royal witch of her time. That's what my parents often told me. It is said that my mother made the mistake of failing to educate the prince to use water magic, but the prince's attribute was non-elementary. That's why my mother was fired and immediately sanctioned to make him a citizen of the lower class.
"Then I will buy the stick" I replied.
"At the very least, try first to find out if you're worth acknowledging by that stick." Replies
I took the stick and pedaled it slowly. I tried to feel the sensation from the wand, and started chanting light spells.
"O Light!, Explain, Around, [Light]" Then a bright ball of light appeared from the end of the stick.
I moved the stick, and the ball of light moved as I wanted. Then I moved it forward to try to attack, and easily the ball of light moved quickly.
"Looks like this stick. I'll buy it now" I said while taking out my money.
Afterwards I left the shop and rushed towards the grimoire shop. Grimoire itself is a book that has magic stones on its cover. The grimoire was used to store spells within it and could be used easily even without mentioning the spells again. Same is the case with magic swords that can be implanted several spells such as strengthening spells, or fire magic and can be active when channeled magic energy and say the name of the spell.
Compared to a Grimoire, a Grimoire itself can hold many spells compared to a magic sword, making it very useful for a magician to activate powerful magic despite not memorizing the spells. At the very least he had been able to activate his incantation that could only be instilled in the grimoire.
But the Grimoire itself was discovered by me, I who originally relied on paper to write spells and activate them when the fight made me think of creating a book containing spells. Until the Grimoire was created.
Although I created it, but I rarely wear it because I have found something else more efficient that is using memory. But the memory must be given a special spell that composes the memory and breaks it down, so I can write the spell in each memory grouped.
And as a result, If I imagine fire magic, then I will automatically remember that fire magic and it will activate when I say the name of the spell. But it has also been improved so that I do not need to rely on that method and use memory magic to create new memories containing the spells I once cast and the activation time is also more efficient.
That is, I can activate the spell without needing to imagine it again, I just need to mention the name of the spell. But the problem is. While reincarnating, the spell disappeared along with my old body. So I needed time to rewrite the spell in my memory.
Then, back to my original destination, I had to rush off to the Grimoire shop to buy the Grimoire. And again my father also recommended one of the Grimoire shops he knew. This time the place is very luxurious and full of buyers.
This time I felt unsure, and decided to go to another store, but someone pulled me into the store without me knowing at all. I saw his face, he looked old but his clothes were very luxurious. I was confused by his actions that pulled me into the store.
"I'm sorry, I just saw your face look like someone I know, so I pulled you into my shop." He said while bowing his head.
"Can you possibly know my father? My father recommended this place to buy a grimoire" I replied.
"Your father? Is his name Albert Astra?" Ask the shop owner.
"That's right, so you know my father. Is it possible that my father is famous? Even the owner of the magic wand shop knew him" I replied while thinking.
"Haha! He didn't tell it. Dad. Who does not know him. Your father was the greatest adventurer who even dared to jump into battle and fight thousands of monsters at once. It's just, he was fooled by his teammates." Said the Shop Owner.
"By the way, you came here to buy a Grimoire right, I'll give you a good Grimoire for free. No need to hesitate to accept it, after all your father's services are greater than a Grimoire" he said.
"Then I will accept your offer" I replied.
Afterwards the Shop Owner invited me to go into his room and open a safe. Behind it was an old book but the flow of magic felt very strong. I can deduce that the Grimoire is the best Grimoire ever.
"This grimoire is a relic of the disciple of a famous sage. The cover is made of Minotaur leather and the core comes from a dragon. Not only that, in it there are many A rank spell spells, there are even elements of light and darkness. But take it easy, there are still many blank pages in this Grimoire so you can write your own spell." Clearly, while wiping the grimoire cover.
"Is this not a problem? Receive such valuable items for free?" I asked with anxiety.
"Just calm down, after all, it would be dangerous to fall into the wrong hands. I can trust you because you're the son of both men. There is a saying that a child is a reflection of a parent." He said, handing over the Grimoire.
I took the Grimoire and opened each sheet to confirm the contents, until I realized I had reached the end of the book. On the last page, the name of the Grimoire's owner, Emily Delia, is my best student. Then right next to his name, it says my old name and a message.
"Teacher, if you're reading this, I've probably not been around, but It's been years since you used reincarnation magic, but still you haven't come back at all. I'm making this book special for you, because I know about your spell will disappear when you're reborn. Although not as great as Master, but I have written some of the most difficult spells in it so that Master does not need to cast his spell again. Marked by Emily Delia" The message on the Grimoire.
"Can you read it? He said it was written in an ancient language. Until now no one knew the meaning of that long sentence." The Shop Owner said.
"No-no, I don't know it, it's just that this ancient writing got me a little interested." I lied to cover my abilities.
I knew being able to read ancient languages would be dangerous in this age because of the many ancient ruins that used ancient languages. I'm afraid that the discovery of the ruins will have a negative impact on everyone. Not only that, if discovered I might become a fugitive from being forced to translate an ancient language. Although I can fight it, but my parents don't. Just thinking about it has made me creep.
"That's it, so what do you think of the Grimoire?" Ask The Shop Owner.
"It's so exciting, I'm so grateful to you for giving me this grimoire." My speech.
Afterwards I left the grimoire shop and continued to the next one, I then bought the usual magic robes, continued to the broomstick shop and bought the usual ones as well. And finally, a magic textbook. I bought a lot because in the academy there will be a lot of subjects that must be learned.
And now, the money I have is up, all I have left is the money I got from work. But take it easy, because I have the savings that I originally wanted to use to pay for the entrance to the academy. If I count the amount, my savings are a hundred gold coins. I will keep it because it will be useful later on.
Now everything I need is complete. And the sky was getting dark, so I rushed home. But before that, I bought another 10 skewers. And after that I rushed to go home and prepare myself before the academy entrance test day began.
Arriving at home, I put all the items I bought on the table to improve its efficiency with enhancement magic, Enchant to each item depending on its usefulness. The first one is my magic wand, I was thinking of giving it an increase in attack power, endurance, magic acceleration, control, magic energy saving and magic doubling.
"[Enchant] Attack Power, Durability, Magic Acceleration, Controller, Magic Saving, Multiplier" Rapalku to activate the spell.
Just as I said Enchant, a small blue light flew around my magic wand and started writing enchantment spell spells that I mentioned and directly embedded inside the magic wand. That way, my magic wand has been strengthened or upgraded and when I touch it, it feels very familiar in my hands.
Furthermore, I will not enchant into the Grimoire because that Grimoire is a book that houses magic spells. So I will enchant my magic robe with Shield, Magic Protection, Pyshical Protection, Mental Protection, Magic Regeneration, Auto Recovery, Strength Boost, Speed Boost.
Then next, the broomstick, this time the improvement is quite simple, namely Levitating, Controller, Speed Boost, Flying, Shield, Auto Repair. That way, all three of my equipment have been completely enchant. For Grimoires and textbooks it would be useless if the enchant was just like that, so I only did enchant to my three supplies.
"Hey Loid, Now it's time to go to bed" My mother said from below.
"I'll be asleep soon" I said.
There are still three weeks before the test day starts. So I'll use that time to prepare for my best spell, which is Memory Grimoire, a spell I used in the past to keep other spells through my memory.
Because this will not be easy to complete in a short time, but thanks to the message given by my students in the past that explains the Memory Grimoire theory more clearly than the results of my research. It could happen maybe because he experimented for years.
And after that I don't have to worry about anything. All for the sake of my peaceful life, I must obtain a witch certificate and help my family's economy. I have to fight from now on to become the greatest magician of this age.
